It may not make me run faster or my husband skate better, but the new Win laundry detergent promises one thing: Our workout clothes won't smell of past sweaty, heart-pumping sessions. While it may seem that just regular washing could accomplish this, Win's "super oxygenated formula" claims to target embedded sweat molecules and break them down while still protecting the specialty clothing. All that sweat-wicking clothing does get musty — the sweat has to go somewhere. I tried a small capful with a few loads of hockey gear and less-stinky yoga apparel and was pleasantly satisfied with the results. The yellow stains on the armpits of my husband's white T-shirts didn't exactly disappear, but the gear did seem fresher. Now I just need to figure out how Win can get me to the gym more often. Each 21-ounce bottle cleans approximately 14 loads and costs about $7. Find Win locally at Dick's Sporting Goods stores or order online at windetergent.com.
